Salmon Ceviche With Citrus Chiles And Avocado Recipes

CITRUS AVOCADO SALMON CEVICHE

Steps:

• Cut the salmon into 1/2" cubes and place it in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle salt over the fish, then squeeze the juice of half the orange, half lemon and half lime directly into the bowl and over the fish. Stir well and send to the refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• When the salmon is done curing, remove the peel and pith from the remaining half orange, and then, working over a bowl, carefully extract the flesh from between the membranes with the tip of your knife. Let those pieces of orange flesh (also known as supremes) fall right into the bowl.
• Add the diced avocado and chopped green onion to the bowl, and then carefully scoop out the cubes of salmon with a slotted spoon to add them to this bowl as well (hold on to that marinade, you'll be using it in a sec). Mix delicately until just combined and set aside.
• To the citrus marinade, add the mayo, honey and cayenne pepper and mix with a whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
• Place a 3" cookie cutter on a serving plate; spoon half of the salmon mixture into the pastry cutter and gently press it down with the back of a spoon. Remove the cutter and repeat with remaining salmon mixture on a second plate. Garnish with a handful of micro-greens and top with a few tablespoons of the citrus vinaigrette. Serve immediately

SALMON CEVICHE WITH CITRUS, CHILES AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Combine the salmon with the red onion, jalapenos and citrus juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes and up to a few hours.
• Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and pour out about half of the liquid and reserve. Fold in the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro and the olive oil. Taste for seasoning. Add some of the reserved liquid, as necessary.
• Mash the avocado with a fork in another medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, add the juice from the whole lime and the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Stir to combine.
• Place the ceviche in a serving vessel with some of the mashed avocado off to the side; drizzle the mashed avocado with olive oil. Serve with some tortilla chips for dipping and garnish with the lemon and/or lime wedges and a sprig of cilantro.

CRISPY SALMON WITH CITRUS AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Season the flesh side of the salmon with the citrus zest, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Remove the skin and white pith from the tangelos, oranges and grapefruits with a sharp knife. Working over a large bowl, cut between the membranes of the grapefruits to release the sections into the bowl. Squeeze the membranes to extract the juice. Slice the tangelos and oranges into rounds and add them to the bowl.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook over medium heat, pressing gently with a fish spatula to flatten, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until medium, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the avocado, herbs, scallions and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the large bowl with the citrus. Season with salt and pepper, then gently toss to mix. Serve the salad with the crispy salmon.

MANGO SALMON CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine the salmon and lime juice in a large bowl, making sure the salmon is fully submerged (add more lime juice if necessary to cover). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
• Combine the cilantro, vinegar, sugar and 2 teaspoons salt in another large bowl. Drain the salmon, reserving 1/4 cup of the lime juice. Add the salmon and reserved lime juice to the cilantro mixture and toss; season with pepper. Cover and refrigerate, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Just before serving, peel and dice the mango and avocado and dice the apple; fold into the ceviche. Drizzle with the sesame oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve with tortilla chips.
